Flashing pie for the first time - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm no stranger to custom ROMs but I'm having difficulty gathering the necessary knowledge to upgrade my mi mix 2 to pie ROMs.
I'm currently on lineage os 15.1(nightly 20190114), with TWRP (not sure which version) as my recovery.
I'm currently looking to move to pie ROMs, but everywhere I look it seems a different method and firmware is required. I don't know my current firmware, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer to where I can check which firmware I'm on or download the required one.
Can anyone tell me which process they have used to move to pie? Thanks

I just flashed MIMIX2Global_V10.0.2.0 firmware and have used it on 3 different Pie ROM's with no issues.

Can I flash a custom rom on the phone after oreo update ?

I have updated to oreo but the phone has terrible battery life even after trying to disable some wakelocks , using greenify , forcing doze etc. I was wondering if I could flash lineage os or let's say resurrection remix on the phone while it has oreo firmware .
I also would like to know

Of course custom roms can be flashed after stock Oreo update.
BUT:
You need to read the requirements in the thread for the specific rom you wish to flash.
There is no single answer for all cases/roms.
Each rom is going to be different, based on whatever blobs were used during rom compilation.
If the rom was built using Oreo blobs, then Oreo firmware is required.
If the rom was compiled using Nougat blobs, then it would require Nougat firmware, despite the actual version of android it is...
So...., read the OP of the thread for the rom you want to flash.
If that doesn't answer your question, then read the last 5-10 pages of the thread.
Still no answer found, then ask in that particular rom thread, what firmware is required.
It's actually pretty simple and typically requires a little reading.
(eventually, all Oreo based custom roms, should be using Oreo blobs and would then require Oreo firmware)
Things are in what I consider a transition phase currently....
TL;DR: LeeDroid 5+ is your only option ATM.

Firmware Version: fw_nitrogen_miui_MIMAX3Global_V11.0.2.0.QEDMIXM_4eb86f33af_10.0
thanks
I read through all possible forums again and couldn't find any help.
Does anyone have any advice for me on what I can do?
Without audio, it's very bad
nice support
Most people dtay with MIUI or use Pie custom roms as there are problems with 10. So its hard for to help when You never used it.
Next proble is that You should to write in roms thread not here, so...

I need recommendations

I am with the idea of changing the rom of my G9600 to a GSI or another rom, but from what I have seen in the GSI you have to have the same security patch between the vendor and the rom, that is where the problem I have lies the February update and I already have the phone with twrp and majisk and the klavit kernel, I mean it doesn't update from the OTA.
How do I update the stock rom?
And which rom do you recommend me to change, in my other phones I always used roms with a great margin of customization like the Resurrection Remix.
Thanks all.
if you're not receiving the latest software update, then just manually download the rom from SamMobiles or Frija and flash it through download mode by using Odin.
Try finding in the Snapdragon section, since I'm on 960f which is Exynoss version.
I'm using EvolutionX rom which have lot of customization, I believe there's one for the Snapdragon but it's been discontinued

new user of mi mix 2

Hi all! As I mention it, I just bought this cellphone completely new (it is the one that best suited my budget in my country) I had a Lenovo a6020 so I'm not so lost in the custom roms and modifications. How I said the is new so it has android 7, I already unlocked the boot and I have twrp in the latest version but I don't know if from android 7 (miui) I can jump directly to PE + 10. I have read but can't find if you need a previous version. Taking advantage of the theme and I hope it does not break the rules I will like to know if this rom (pixel expierence) incorporates a version of gcam, If not, which version do you recommend, or is the official camera better? Thank you all! Excuse my lousy English, I'm still learning

See firmware xda thread from link below to update to latest firmware and flash firmware when you flash your rom in custom recovery.
